Deployment operations
Use this sub-skill when the user is turning an Agent Starter Pack project into a deployable, observable, or registered cloud asset.
Covers
setup-cicdand its Terraform/runner setup.- Generated-project deployment commands such as
make setup-dev-env,make setup-datastore,make deploy,make data-ingestion,make sync-data,make register-gemini-enterprise,make inspector, and the related local-development targets. - Data ingestion, observability, and Gemini Enterprise registration guidance.
- Cloud-provider prerequisites such as GitHub CLI, gcloud, Terraform, repository ownership, and generated deployment metadata.
Excludes
- New-project template selection belongs in
project-scaffolding. - In-place project edits and upgrades belong in
project-maintenance.

Common workflow
- Confirm whether the user is asking about a generated project, not the source package itself.
- Decide whether the task is CI/CD bootstrap, runtime deployment, data ingestion, observability, or Gemini Enterprise registration.
- Check the relevant generated-project command or cloud prerequisite before suggesting a fix.
- Use the sub-reference pages to explain the concrete command sequence and likely failure points.
- Route project-generation questions back to
project-scaffoldingand project-maintenance questions back toproject-maintenance.

Validation mindset
- Do not claim cloud readiness from package importability alone.
- Distinguish local command discovery from live cloud provisioning.
- Keep destructive cleanup, live-deployment, and credentialed operations out of the default path unless the user explicitly asks for them.
